I like the idea too. To avoid the byes of the first round and to improve the competition, we could imagine groups of 3 or 4 fighting on one game chosen randomly. Then only the first two would qualify for the next round. The two last ( or the last one if it's a group of 3 players ) woudl qualify for a special round where they could gain another chance to continue the competition with the 1st round winners. I hope I'm clear :-)It's a system often used in some sport competitions.(posted 8933 days ago)Lagavulin.
